Clavicle and glenoid cavity |
Pelvic girdle |
Clavicle and glenoid cavity are found in a pectoral girdle. Each half of pectoral girdle consists of the clavicle and a scapula. Glenoid cavity is a depression below the acromion (the expanded process of scapula). The glenoid cavity articulates with the head of the humans to form the shoulder joint.
